Why not PM glazedham42 and ask?

 

That is a Grant GT wheel.

 

Looks like it could be a Grant wheel.

THANK YOU...and wow its a pretty cheap steering wheel

 

thanks everybody...couldnt have found it without u guys..i never even heard of grant steering wheels...i was beginning to think it was an rx-2 steering wheel...does anybody know how he got the old school "M" mazda emblem on his steering wheel?

 

Thanks to this thread I actually went and bought one of these last night from Summit Racing. I listed the part numbers so you can view them on their website easily.

GRT-3196 Steering Wheel Installation Kit, Matte Black, Aluminum $16.95



GRT-415 Steering Wheel, Challenger, Steel/Silver, Foam/Black, 4-Spoke, 13.5 in. Diameter, Each $44.95 (Same one glazdham has)



GRT-5897 Horn Button, Steel, Black, GT Emblem, for Challenger/Classic/Performance Series, Each $6.95





Total came out to $78.60 for everything SHIPPED! Will be arriving Monday .
Not too bad at all.

 

Nice. What's the story with the "M" horn button?

 

cool I saw one just like that at kragens, probably a low brand but looks exactly the same

 

you sure this kit works for the 7?

on grant's site they show that only kit # 3597 will work with a 1st gen

 

Woops! I posted the wrong one. Yes I did purchase the GRT-3597 kit, good catch

 

hah okay good! wasn't sure if there was another kit that fit as well.. just wanted to clarify


i was hoping this Evolution GT for my FB: Evolution GT 1080

but the all black one in this style only comes in the 13 3/4 wheel.. was hoping to get smaller than that (12 - 12 1/2.. knees hit the wheel as is)

maybe the red would look good since the car is red

 

So is there a way to keep the OEM center cap on this thing? I'm strongly considering swapping out my wheel right now since I can't move my hands past my legs thanks to the diameter, but I want to keep the Mazda cap if I can.

 

The last time I looked at a Grant catalog, they had replacement logos for the center cap. I know there was a Mazda one but I don't remember which one. I'll try to look the next time I work(p/t at Advance).

 

so the only ones that will work are the GRT-3597?....can you get the removable steering wheel kit along with the steering wheel? i'm talking about this kit

thanks for the website...the prices really are hooked up..they're cheaper than the grant website itself....give us feedback when you get the wheel (look and feel, installation process, and possibly pics?)

 

keep us updated on info about that center cap ! do you recall them having the old school red "M" mazda emblem?..thanks

 

Yes, it is the same. A Grant GT wheel was the first aftermarket part I bought at Kragen for my 1969 Malibu way back in 1987!

 

I have this one and I love it. It is discontinued but you can still find them around. Just do a google search for grant 1082. I think they made it in all black too.

 

anyone know the diameter of the stock steering wheel?

 

15" I think.

Turns out the aftermarket steering wheel I put on my S is a Grant. It was missing the horn button so I wasn't sure. Thanks to this thread I can easily order one.

 

I got 2 different steering wheels, Im not sure which Im going to use.

Im going the nitrous route, so I needed 2 buttons on the steering wheel: one for the horn, one for the nitrous


The blue comes off I already started to remove it

 

i'm liking the momo wheel better. i think it would work better in a 1st gen. but that's just my 1.5 cents.

 

yeah i agree with drinkyourmilk, the sparco seems like something that would be in a stripped car
